#flima

???????????? No one is supporting her??? I genuinely couldn’t care less about that entire show but if it’s between them and Blarke you know damn well I’m picking the Floriana ship.

I don’t like Floriana as a person because of the things she has said and done in regards to her boyfriend so this is not me defending her, but I would never look at a picture of her and go “that girl is white”. Look at her features and look at her skin tone. You can tell she has Moor/non-white ancestry SOMEWHERE. She may not be Latina as the role called for, but calling her white is a stretch. It’s the same thing with Lorenzo on FTWD. I would never run across that kid on the streets and be like “Yeah...that dude is white.” I don’t think either of them have white privilege or are white passing. Y’all can hate the ship or the characters all you want but calling either of them “White people taking POC roles” seems like a reach to me. 

Bruh...I’ve seen CL’s claiming white Latinas aren’t real latinas with my own two eyes. This isn’t coming through hearsay. Don’t come to me with that because I’ve read it myself on my dash. The Floriana discourse is something else and I’m not touching that. 

I assume you’re talking about the casting drama I’ve seen floating around? If that is the case, I think that - as usual - Tumblr doesn’t understand how anything works. The casting process for a show/film is very complicated and so many things go into choosing who plays a character on a project. It is not as simple as most of them assume. It was the same unnecessary drama with Lorenzo/Chris. I don’t know why people on Tumblr are always pressed about something unimportant. It’s like they don’t have anything better to do than be angry all the time.
